SharePint – Best Practices DC 2009 Edition



Looks like I’ve been a little slack in my planning for SharePint at the Best Practices Conference in Washington DC – Andrew Connell has trumped me big time with what looks like the SharePint to end all SharePint’s at SPC in Vegas.

What’s the reason for my delay you may ask?

In part because I have been busy, but the main reason is that I will be in the Reston area a whole week before SharePint will take place and thought what better opportunity than to do a bit of a local tour to see which venue really stood out as a great SharePint venue.

Here is what I do know:

SharePint will on Tuesday 25th August – starting around 7pm till late

Here is what I want from you:

Help me to find the ideal location for the SharePint – Best Practices DC 2009 Edition.
Mapping potential venues, please add your recommendations.

Perhaps we can make this a tradition,

The pre-SharePint tour – In Search of the Venue :)

If you want to keep up with what’s happening and want to join the search follow me @andrewwoody@sharepint or search for #sharepint on twitter.  To help us get a feel for the numbers and to warn the bar please add a +1 comment to this post,  include your twitter name if you want.

    I am planning on trying Jacksons at some point so that would be great with me! Close enough to stumble back to the hotel easily. . .

    Woody - Having done the local scouting of the area, I would recommend the American Tap Room which is just a few blocks away from the Hyatt.

    Definitely accommodating to a large crowd and have a decent selection of beers at not super steep prices.

    If you're good I'll start broadcasting it to the DC area to see if other SharePoint folks might make it over for a pint.

    Cheers,
    usher
